Health for All says
At present, the commonly used drugs** systemic lupus erythematosus mainly include immunosuppressants, hormones and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which play a positive role in controlling the progression of the disease and improving the quality of life of patients. However, these drugs can also bring some *** such as immunosuppressants may increase the risk of infection, hormonal drugs can easily cause hormone dependence, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, etc.
In the face of these problems, we can start from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, combine the theory and clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicine, and take corresponding methods for conditioning. First of all, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principle of "strengthening the right and dispelling evil", that is, adjusting the patient's physique and enhancing the body's resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning, such as astragalus, ginseng and other drugs that have the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood. At the same time, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet in daily life to ensure a balanced intake of nutrients. Avoid spicy, irritating or greasy foods that can cause too much irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Secondly, TCM focuses on "syndrome differentiation treatment", that is, individualized according to the specific symptoms of patients. For patients at increased risk of infection, some traditional Chinese medicines with anti-infective effects, such as forsythia, honeysuckle, and other drugs, can be used. For patients with hormone dependence, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for gradual reduction** to gradually reduce the dependence on hormones. For gastrointestinal irritation, some traditional Chinese medicines that protect the gastric mucosa can be used, such as Coptis chinensis, golden cherry seeds, etc.
In addition, TCM also emphasizes "treating both the symptoms and the root causes", that is, on the one hand, the symptoms are **, and on the other hand, the overall physical state is adjusted. It can be assisted by acupuncture, massage and other traditional Chinese medicine** to improve qi and blood circulation and promote the recovery of immune function. You can also use traditional Chinese medicine health preservation methods, such as appropriate exercise, adjusting work and rest, enhancing physical fitness, and improving immunity.
It should be emphasized that while dealing with drugs, patients must maintain close communication with doctors, and reflect their physical conditions and drug reactions in a timely manner, so that doctors can make adjustments and guidance. In addition, do not stop the drug on your own or change the dosage of the drug at will, so as not to cause the disease to recur or worsen.
In conclusion, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus may encounter some *** in the process of medication, but we can cope with it through the conditioning methods of traditional Chinese medicine. These methods not only alleviate *** but also improve the overall physical condition and improve the quality of life. However, it is important to remember that TCM** is a systematic and individualized process that should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and carried out consistently. Only by comprehensively adopting the method of integrating traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can we better control the disease and improve the quality of life of patients.
